Girls’ Day is a day when special dolls are displayed if you have a girl. There are also special treats for girls. Boys’ Day is the same, but for boys, HOWEVER, because Girls’ Day is not a national holiday, and Boys’ Day has become one, they now officially call Boys’ Day “Children’s Day” on the calendar. (Girls’ Day is March 3rd, Boys’/Children’s Day is May 5th).

This one is no longer in use, but this is what they are. Takami didn’t know what the Japanese word meant, and she asked us what the English word meant, and we had no clue, so Teddy looked it up on his phone.
